Can we know why?

It's Subversion.

Then do the checkout from the client.

No, impossible. Working copies are platform dependant. Either always 
access them from windows or always access them from linux.
If it occasionally work it's coincidence, it may fail tomorrow.

That's just coincidence, it may fail with the next version of SVN.

See it can't work ;-)

Working copies are platform dependant. You should only ever access them 
with one platform. You can use different clients (ie TortoiseSVN and 
svn.exe) but they have to be on the same platform.
